Clearwater Beach..

[Desk Jockey]

I'm sorry I missed this adventure!

Look at Mike, he was probably thrilled not to be on his foot!

 

[Mark Saiger]

Took today and had some time with my wife Shari....

Got blown off the beach, so went to the pool at the Condo I am staying at for couple nights.....

Was fun to of course see her and tried not to talk business and carpet cleaning for awhile....

I am such a carpet cleaning nerd/junkie....

I was listening to the women on the women's panel and trying to learn something about "it's our passion more as guys" kind of thing and I need to get out of that world for a while sometimes....

Dang....I'm a carpet cleaning junkie

 

[Mikey P]

Can't thank everyone enough!

The vendors, attendees and especially the MF speakers for all the energy, help and fantastic content.

While similar to last year's Aptos show, this event really was the best Mikey's Fest ever. Everything was taken to the next level.

I feel guilty for taking out west coast contingency out of it but hey...The east coasters needed some loving too.
It was great to finally meet so many old and new easterners..


Pemberton, Saiger, Lockhart, Dave Gill and the Experience staff members were overly helpful to me and my gimpy leg. I'm paying the price for over using it now but with out the help, I'd need a saw bones right now.

While we will have a strong presence in Las Vegas this coming September, look for the "real" MF (12) to return to California in 2016.

 

[Hoody]

Thanks

I can't say I agree with rob beating Mikey

I think one of the things that hurt mike was him going first

Rob was last

From chit chatting I found that every mikeyboarder who would have voted for Mike out of general principle, voted for you and IMO you had the best speech. That took Mike's vote count way down.

Congrats again Dave. You are one hell of a guy!

 

[davegillfishing]

ah...good point i didnt think about that..so i actually screwed mike...oops sorry bout that buddy

 

[Wing It]

I was going to vote for Mike even if he fainted at the podium, but that was until I heard Dave speak. I don't feel guilty at all for voting for a Mikey's boarder, because I voted for by far the best speech.

 

[Mikey P]

MB won the contest..


Which was better than me winning it.


It would have been Baltimore all over again.

 

[Desk Jockey]

hey boss you're a winner in my book. Weiner? No, winner!

Ditto. I was all ready to vote for him...especially after getting a shout out.

Then Dave stole the show....more like our hearts, and solidified our votes for him instead.

 

[truckmount girl]

I'm really hoping someone recorded Dave's speech or that he aty least has it written down and can post it.

Take care,
Lisa

 

[davegillfishing]

Lisa believe it or not...about 20 mins before the speech I jotted down a few notes I wanted to be sure to touch on but 95% of it was on the spot real speaking..nothing scripted or really planned just the honest truth..I am very passionate about the things we are involved in and very very prideful so it just kind of happened

I saw a pic that made me HATE that I missed Monday, late night.

I was sworn to secrecy so it won't go further but you guys are hilarious and I can't wait until the next Fest!

Still at the Hilton but the plane leaves @ 7 am. See you all soon.

 

[Mikey P]

Monday?

 

[Russ T.]

I think I was told it was Monday night. Mel and I went to bed early.

 

[dealtimeman]

Are you talking about a bit of zip with some payotey riding biotch?

Is this of which you speak?

Please unsee what you have seen, for Baltimore will truly occur if such portrait is once again gazed upon by evil subjective eyes.







On a side note I will put it up once everyone has made it out of Florida safely, don't want to put it up to zip, I mean quick. Must make sure everyone is in the clear, as to make it clean n dry.

Lol!
That's the one. It MUST make it on the board!

 

[Mark Saiger]

Couple other pics for now

My last day today.

Spending as much time with my wife and her family until back tomorrow and back in the big Blue van. Booked another resort that called last night.

Business is rocking, but it is great to just have this little down time now since the convention is over.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Great pictures Mark!

 

[FredC]

Isn't that pretty much just sitting on a Rebel?

You can say that again, holy crap on the chit storm anyhow, lol

 

[Mark Saiger]

We're back Frenchys Rockaway Grill on the beach. With my little hottie wife of mine

Just as beautiful inside... If not more... As on the outside

 

[Hoody]

I hope you didn't take it that way, Dave. You won because you spoke from the heart - you can't ask for more than that. Unlike a lot of people you aren't fake, you take care of your team, and your community. The whole speaking event left me inspired to work harder and to help change my community. You have been a big part of that inspiration.

 

[Hoody]

Dang...Hoody you packing on some weight? I thought I remembered you being very skinny...

I've been carb loading/bulking for a couple of months. In two weeks I'll cut back down. I weigh 172 right now and will probably lean back out to 160-ish.
